Got a new whip

The other day I was the fortunate high bidder on an 04 Honda Accord Coupe. It's the V6 6-speed model, 6-disc changer, leather, heated seats, sunroof... completely loaded. I feel like I got an awesome price on it too--here's the auction link:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=012&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&viewitem=&item=220116810504&rd=1,1

What's better, the display on the stereo wasn't working, so I was able to haggle the price down another grand. After getting home last night, I decided to swing by my local Honda dealership and see what they had to say about it. Turns out, they extended the warranty on their headunits for this car, so I'm getting a brand new one free of charge!

Anyway, just thought I'd share my good fortune with you all.

    Nice ride Dane, Enjoy!

    I hope you don't swap the speakers in it like you do in the apt.;)

    I need to get something to keep her clean. It's got some decent swirling on it that I think I'll have the buff the crap out of. Otherwise really happy with it.

    And the factory stereo/speakers will not be touched. That's a whole 'nother can of worms I won't touch.

    Where's the whip? In the trunk?

    Who buys whips nowadays, anyways?

    Nice buy; great price.

    I had the 04 V6 sedan; very powerful. Hard to beat it out of a stop light (not that I ever tried it ;))

    I like your Alero, ganzo. Any mods to it since you last posted about it?

    What've you done so far...wheels, suspension, hood...

    Hmmm. Not insightful, meaningful, funny, or practical. You're right. Post goes under the "reading your old post" and retching thread. :o
